Windows XP PCs/laptops all running on a shared home network. Set up printer
connected to one of the PCs for sharing. When attempting to connect one of
the PCs(laptops) to a printer, which I can see using browsing, I get an error
message (Error: The printer name is not valid). Tried renaming. Current
name "HP2200". Highlight the "browsed" printer and click Next, I get the
error; "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was
typed incorrectly or the specified printer has lost its connection to the
server. For more information, click help".
 
It looks like this in the Shared printer list:
\\HOMECOMP\HP2200 hp psc 2200 series
